Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley, Xavier forward Tre Carroll, and Fox and Peacock television analyst and former St. John's standout Tarik Turner are the guests on the eighth episode of This Week in the BIG EAST. Now in its 12th season, This Week In The BIG EAST (#TWITBE) is distributed by Westwood One radio and is available wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

This week's BIG EAST Spotlight shines on Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley. Having spent the past 15 seasons in the league at Georgetown and Providence, the veteran head coach thinks anyone can make a run at Madison Square Garden at the BIG EAST Tournament. Hot off a recent five-game win streak, Cooley has his Hoyas' squad ready to close out the regular season on a high note entering into the postseason.

This week's BIG EAST Focus is Xavier's high-scoring forward Tre Carroll. In his first season in Cincinnati, Carroll leads the BIG EAST in scoring at 18.4 points per game. Carroll joins the show and talks about his career run, spending three seasons at Florida Atlantic prior to joining the Musketeers. Carroll was a key part of the Owls' improbable Final Four run in 2023 and was an all-conference performer during his time at FAU.

For the National Perspective, Fox and Peacock television analyst Tarik Turner talks all things BIG EAST, as his alma mater - St. John's - has emerged at the top of the league standings in mid-February. He talks about his thoughts on the season so far as the month of March quickly approaches.

This Week in the BIG EAST is hosted by John Rooke, a longtime play-by-play voice in the league, and Kevin McNamara, radio host, columnist, author, and U.S. Basketball Writers' Hall of Famer. The show will run through the end of the 2025-26 regular season, providing a comprehensive look at the teams, coaches, players, and storied tradition of the top basketball conference in America in each episode.
